Preface
The progress of network technology is amazing. In addition to humans, things are now being connected, as Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems, Industrie 4.0, etc., indicate. When IoT was proposed, the sensor technology was not mature enough to realize its goal. But with its remarkable progress, now everything is quickly getting connected. It contributed greatly to flexible and adaptive production, but what is more important is it will change engineering from extrinsic to intrinsic. Traditional engineering has been product-focused. Engineers believed if they produced a good quality product, their customers would be happy and satisfied. They regarded customers just as passive consumers. But why are users called customers? That is because they are very active and would like to customize their products. They have intrinsic motivations to actualize themselves. The concept of User Experience (UX) opened engineers’ eyes. Until this concept is proposed, engineers paid attention only to products. They considered processes just in terms of efficiency or cost reduction. UX demonstrated processes also yield values. And more often, process values are more important than product values, because processes are more deeply related to intrinsic motivation. One important aspect of motivation is learning to grow. Traditional hardware products do not grow, although they function very well. Motivation and emotion origi
